Matthew McConaughey and girlfriend Camila Alves are in a committed relationship and have an 18-month-old son, but her mother wants Matt to put a ring on it, as it were:

"Camila's mother is very traditional, and she's worried that since they are not married, Matthew could leave her daughter high and dry with two kids if he falls out of love with her," says a source. Camila's mom, Multo Abrigado, which sounds like it means "many thanks," would even be fine with some kind of non-marriage legal arrangement. Mom might be right, but how does Camila feel? She doesn't seem to have a say in this. [MSNBC via National Enquirer]

Why did Hayden Panettiere dye her hair red? "I was tired of being a blonde and being... you get stuck in one thing and known for one thing and as a cheerleader or whatever that image," she says. "It's fun to change things up, and I feel I don't have to overcompensate as much personality-wise when I have red hair as I do with blonde hair.
